In 2005 Bastía returned to Argentina, playing for Estudiantes de La Plata before returning to Racing Club in 2006. In 2008, playing for Asteras Tripolis in Greece, Bastía received international fame when, on an away match against Panathinaikos FC, he tackled a pitch invader and received a red card.^[2]

In 2011, Bastía returned to Argentina after three years in Greece, joining Colón. In 2013, he joined Atletico de Rafaela after not being valued by Colón coach Rubén Forestello.^[3]
